I'm planning to walk approximately 3 weeks of this route with two friends in June 2018. I'm sure we will fly to Paris, then take a train to LePuy, at least that's my thought. We want to walk at least as far as Moissac, possibly a little farther if logistically a different ending point would make for simpler transportation back to Paris. Have any of you ended this route in or near Moissac and if so, how did you go about returning to Paris?
P.S. Does three weeks allow enough time to walk this route at a rather leisurely pace?

Hi Chris, it took me exactly 3 weeks from Le Puy to Moissac, including 2 nights in Figeac. I was walking fairly leisurely.

Three weeks got me to Cahors. It was a quick train hop to Moissac, and then easy connections back to Paris.

We walked it in 17 days so 3 weeks will be perfect. We also stayed at the Gite Ultreia in Moissac and it is right by the train station. Rom and Aiden are very helpful and speak English. Easy connections anywhere in France. Enjoy and Bon Camino. Karen and Dayton
